UNSPSC 31251502: Electronic actuators

UNSPSC 31251502 Electronic actuators, a Commodity code, covers automated valve control devices — principally hydraulic and electric positioners and actuators — that state and local governments procure for wastewater and water treatment plant operations. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties buying REXA hydraulic actuators with proprietary Flow Match Valve technology for control system upgrades, electric positioners compatible with HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus protocols, and multi-year framework contracts for mixed electric actuators, replacement parts, gearboxes, and accessories. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal water and wastewater utilities and county treatment authorities, with repeat buying from the City of Phoenix Water Services Department and recurring Florida municipal and county wastewater facilities. Scope encompasses not only equipment procurement but also commissioning support, onsite training, extended warranties, and authorized-distributor relationships that lock purchasing into specific manufacturers (REXA, Emerson, Flowserve, Limitorque, Badger Meter, Asahi/America) where proprietary integration or long-term service continuity drives sole-source determinations.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Arizona. The City of Plant City, Florida posted an IFB for REXA Actuators via sole-source Notice of Intent on April 7, 2026, with responses due April 14, 2026, for $29,580.00 in equipment and commissioning; Seminole County, Florida posted a sole-source procurement of REXA replacement and repair parts on June 2, 2026 (vendor response due June 1, 2026) through distributor PRO-CO, Inc. The City of Austin Purchasing Office issued an IFQ on June 15, 2026 for two units of a DVC 6200 microprocessor-based positioner, due June 16, 2026, with compatible HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus protocols. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department released a supplemental IFB on June 5, 2026 for electric actuators, parts, valves, and software across a four-and-one-half-year contract commencing September 1, 2026, with pre-offer conference held May 21, 2026. A Florida county issued an RFI on May 11, 2026 (due May 20, 2026) regarding Limitorque-brand actuators and repair services through incumbent Flowtech Inc. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted a competitive sealed-bid solicitation on April 27, 2026 for 108-inch slide gates (due May 1, 2026) with existing electrical operators and AWWA compliance.
